Meet Salme Geransar from Melbourne, Australia who moved to LA 9 months ago to pursue acting.
Was there a particular reason you chose LA?
I chose LA because of the acting opportunities, I have a lot of family that live here, and it’s much warmer than NY or Canada!
What one thing do you miss from home?
I miss the familiarity – like knowing the system/how things work (being able to pay my rent online), and knowing which shops/cafes/restaurants are good.
What do you find the biggest difference is living here?
The biggest difference between LA and Melbourne is the public transport. I know a few people that get around LA without a car, but it definitely makes life easier having one!
Do you have a hidden gem in LA that you want to share with us?
Hidden gems in LA – Aroma Cafe in Studio City, and The Alcove in Los Feliz – make sure to try their choc-chip bread budding 🙂
What would you suggest to others who are thinking about making the move here?Â
I would suggest to those wanting to move here to save money and have all your documents prepared for whichever visa you intend to apply for. Get in contact with anyone you know in LA, and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Lastly, how can we find out more about you? Are you on the Internet?Â
You can find me on my website www.salme.geransar.com, Twitter @SalmeGeransar and my Facebook page www.facebook.com/salmegeransaractor
